Axios-Ipsos poll: 1 in 3 Americans know someone who died from COVID-19

February 23, 2021

Approximately one in three Americans know someone who died from coronavirus, according to the latest installment of our Axios-Ipsos Coronavirus Index. The big picture: The U.S. surpassed 500,000 COVID deaths on Monday — a staggering toll that is larger than the total number of U.S. soldiers killed in action in World War I, World War II, and the Vietnam War combined. Driving the news: President Biden addressed the inconceivable death toll and the grief that comes with it in remarks on Tuesday. ...And the everyday things — the small things, the tiny things — that you miss the most. Biden's remarks.
